Catholic Mother's Conference

Have you heard about the Catholic Mother's Conference coming to N.E. Ohio on November 15, 2008? You may ask, "Why not just a women's conference? Why the focus on motherhood?" The reasons are many, but mostly because as J.P. II states: "The future of the world passes through the family." Parents are called to raise their children in the faith, but too often we forget that this ultimately is a calling from God, it is not just a job that we've signed up for. It is our vocation, and mother's, in particular, have been given so many gifts to bring faith and life to our families. It is how we have been designed by God.
Many mother's are busy these days and to give an entire Saturday to something needs to really be worth our time. I guarantee that this will be worth your time. At this conference you will be revived, you will find purpose, you will experience joy, you will experience God and you will walk away with practical ways to bring faith to your family, and you will learn how to get your daily things done so that you can be fully devoted to the ones you love.
If you do nothing else for your spiritual life this year, I recommend this conference.

Finally, our hope is to develop community within each parish by having a group of women from each parish attend the conference together. This is where I need your help. If you are reading this and are planning on attending then I would like to hear from you. I am looking for one or two women within each parish who will invite a group of women to attend the conference together. This is a big mission to evangelize the faith to the women in our community and you can participate in this evangelization through your personal invitation. If you would like to help in this mission please contact me. Go to my business link www.avenuesofgrace.com (see links on the side) and go to the "contact Marna" tab. Just send me a comment as to how I can contact you either by e-mail or phone and I will get in touch and give you information on how you can help. I hope to hear from each of you soon. Thank you and God bless.
